Thrust Knife

You hold your Thrust Knife between your teeth, keeping it handy while your hands are busy picking the lock on a noble’s unguarded luggage. Leaving anything valuable without a guard is like an invitation to steal it...at least that’s been your experience.

With a satisfying ‘click!’ the lock comes undone and you pry the chest open to reveal--oh, yes! That will do nicely. You pocket what looks to be a sizeable purse and a few interesting looking weapons, before carefully replacing the lock and sneaking out of the tent undetected.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's new Thrust Knife is an metal imitation 11 cm blade and sculpted 9 cm handle perfect for rogues and creative soldiers alike. Featuring more detailing than previous throwing knives, the Thrust Knife appears more realistic thanks to the skilled hand painting, iron blade textures, and stippled brass hilt. Easily hang your knife from your belt using the loops on its pommel, showing off your weapon while keeping it secure. With its low-fantasy style, match this Thrust Knife with most Epic Armoury products and characters. Use it as a weapon or tool--whatever fits your needs!

Made from coreless durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this throwing knife will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

“We must fight,” you shout for them all to hear. You are a mighty figure in your Veteran Armour, a symbol to strike confidence in these soldiers. “For our homes and for our families, we will fight until we can fight no more!” With a resounding cheer, your troops ready themselves for the charge.

DETAILS

This bestselling Epic Armoury Veteran Armour is a typical western cuirass designed to protect the whole torso. The cuirass secures tight over the breast and abdomen using four sturdy leather straps--each riveted with decorative brass studs--and brass buckles. It is highly adjustable both at the front, but also with strong leather cords at the flanks.

This cuirass is crafted to be especially hardy by stitching overlapping full-grain leather with heavy leather cords. At the neck, an additional leather plate serves as a gorget. Along the rims of the armour, the edges are bound with flattened leather cords. The effect is a solid piece of armour with lines suggesting a slim waist and broad shoulders.

Epic Armoury's Veteran Armour is compatible with all other Epic Armoury leathers and metal works, and is designed to fit various character types.

HISTORY

• Historically looked down upon as a form of armor
• Finely crafted leather cuirasses were often worn by high-ranking officers and officials, including several Roman Emperors
